Hello there, the purpose of this guide is to help you get your Arc Updated, De-Branded, Rooted, Themed or to get a Custom ROM installed on it.​
The process of tinkering with any Device can seem a like a daunting process for New members but it's really quite simple so long as you read EVERY WORD of a thread describing how to Modify your Phone you shouldn't go far wrong.
Sure you might screw up once or twice but you can just simply run the Flashtool to restore your Phone to a Factory condition using a Branded or World Generic .ftf file which can be found in the Development Section
PLEASE NOTE:
If you have Un-Locked your Bootloader DO NOT UPDATE Over The Air (O.T.A) or YOU WILL BRICK your Device. If you have Bricked then see THIS thread with how to Restore your Phone.
UPDATE:

PLEASE ALSO NOTE:
Using the FOTA Bricked thread (above) has been confirmed to work on Phones with Locked Boot Loaders too.
Debranding & The Flashtool
Put simply Debranding removes Operator/Carrier bloatware, which can speed up your Phone, and the Flashtool allows you to Flash ROMs that are in .ftf (FlashTool File) format, so if your Carrier is slow with releasing the latest Updates you can just simply Flash it, which is easier than using SEUS or PC Companion. If your Phone comes SimFree then it's already De-Branded but if it came from a Carrier, O2, Orange, 3 etc then it will come preloaded with their Apps, Settings etc that you may not want. To debrand you need the Flashtool and a ROM. This video by BlueChipJ explains the process of using it...

[ARC/ARC-S]Autoroot for unlocked bootloader - no flashing needed
When you root your phone, you gain “superuser” privileges to the Android operating system. When you are using a stock device, you have the equivalent of “guest” privileges. If you are familiar with any Linux operating system, you know that the superuser privilege allows you to gain access to administrative rights. This level of access gets you down to the nitty gritty of the OS with no restrictions, lets you make changes to the system, and run scripts that would normally be blocked with a standard user account.

[TOOL][FASTBOOT] QuikIMG - A frontend for fastboot [0.2 beta]
The stock bootloader on most Android phones is set up to run a signature check on any update file you attempt to flash to your NAND internal memory. So if you were to take a stock Android phone purchased from a carrier, and try to install a custom ROM on it, you'd get nowhere fast. Even after rooting, you still need to get access to the bootloader. Basically, unlocking the bootloader lets you install unsigned ROMs, like CyanogenMod.

- Know Your Android Bootloader - What it is and Why it Matters
There are two ways to Unlock yours, the Standard method (For SimFree Phones) which is explained HERE, (PLEASE NOTE! - You loose DRM when using the official method but not with the TestPoint) but if your Phone came from a Carrier then chances are (99%) you won't be able to use that method. There is a simple method of checking if you can or not which you'll find HERE. Then there is the TestPoint method.
Standard Unlocking
Remote Unlocking
Contact Alejandrissimo or Jinx13 for details of the remote service which isn't free, but cheaper than anywhere else on the net, and when you take in to account you will also SIM Unlock and retain DRM it's worth it.
Fastboot & Custom ROMS
UPDATE:

[TUTORIAL][STEP-BY-STEP][TEXT EDITION]How to install a custom ROM on Xperia Arc/S
A custom ROM is a fully standalone version of the OS, including the kernel (which makes everything run), apps, services, etc - everything you need to operate the device, except it's customized by someone in some way.
So what does the "customized" part mean? Since Android is open source, developers are free to take stock ROMs, modify them, strip them of garbage, optimize them, add things, and pretty much do whatever their imagination and skills allow.

[OFFICIAL] Ice Cream Sandwich beta ROM for unlocked 2011 Xperia smartphones

Source: Android™ Ice Cream Sandwich beta ROM available for unlocked 2011 Xperia™ smartphone models
Official thread by Kalle: [ROM] Official Sony Xperia ICS Beta ROM for arc S, ray, neo V
As a follow-up to the previous alpha, Sony has released the official beta of the upcoming ICS update for 2011 Xperia models. Unfortunately, this beta is currently only available for Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray and they must be already running the latest firmware (4.0.2.A.0.42).
What's new?
Updated UI – We hope you will be happy to see that we have added a number of UI elements from ICS, as well as some new UI features already introduced in the Xperia™ S we announced in January.
Lockscreen and Face Unlock – We have added a shortcut to the camera directly from the lockscreen. Also, when you’re listening to music you can control the music player without unlocking the phone by using the music control icons on the lockscreen. In the coming final ICS upgrade, we will also include the face unlock app from Google for all phones that has a front-facing camera. The Face Unlock feature uses the front-facing camera in combination with advanced object recognition algorithms to provide a new way to unlock the phone. However, since Face Unlock is a Google Mobile Services (GMS) app, it is not included in this ICS beta ROM.
Connectivity turned on – Since we published the ICS alpha ROM, the GSM modem and FM radio have passed the certification and type approval, and they are therefore turned on in this ICS beta release.
Updated email client – The UI has been updated, and simplified email management has been added.
Quick dial – We have added a quick and easy way for you to make phone calls. See how it works in the ICS beta ROM demo video.
Please note that the Google Mobile Services (GMS) apps (for example Gmail, Google Maps and Face Unlock), Bluetooth™ and Wi-Fi™ are not included in the beta release due to that they are still waiting for the certification and type approval to be finalised.
Let's hope someone who is skilled out there to make it available for arc users. Also, I thought we were going to get the UXP NXT interface, but it seems like we don't.
What do you guys think?

Is this ROM maybe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJbDl8aikUk&feature=player_embedded
EDIT:Sorry, I didn't see this video in the link below

Woohoo ..! Can't wait to test

I wish i had the technical knowhow to port it to Arc =/

Making now
don't forget you can talk to us any time on gtalk and as always xbox live

Wow, we're getting almost all of the Xperia S features with the ICS update too!

Assuming it will work on stock kernel - can it be installed and a CWM backup made???
I have already restored my ARC S backup to an ARC without any issue (BOTH Locked bootloaders)
Just a thought
----Edit----
Just to be clear - Could someone with an UNlocked bootloader install the rom and then make a CWM backup of which can be restored in another phone (Locked bootloader)?
I am guessing the UNlocked bootloader is needed to get the rom installed because its not signed.

Can we flash this on original Xperia Arc? I am asking this because I know that roms for Arc are compatible with Arc S. I also know that Arc has different partition table, but maybe since I have a modded rom it has changed.

Someone uses it on an Arc, so yes

[StreakPro] Finally launched in Japan (seeking owners for info)

デルの最新スマートフォン『DELL Streak™ Pro』、3月発売決定
The Streak Pro finally launched in Japan as:
Softbank: 101DL (finally 2 months late)
E-Mobile: GS01
New Info bits:
Latest known softbank rom: 071, region 12
Latest known emobile rom: 063, region 17
Android 2.3.5
Stage 2.0
I'd imagine it's pretty 'stock' like the 40x roms for the S5, V.
0xx roms are usually prototype roms
I'm seeking an owner of any SPro to dump files for me, you dont need to be rooted or anything.
Even though though the S10 launched in only china, there are a dozen owners that arnt in china and post on xda (myself included). Hopefully a SPro owner is willing to come and dump the system partition of the SP.
For the few users that have used both S5-407 and V-408 they should be aware that the V has better battery life due to bugs being fixed (even though the S5 has a slightly larger batt). The SPro should likely be like the S10 by now and have great battery life.
I would expect the SPro to have an unlocked bootloader like all previous dell devices, but also likely not have great rom support due to it not having driver sources released.
Note: dont bother complaining about dell here, it doesnt really accomplish anything. You should complain on any of their social media pages/email them/call them and complain there. At least they have a chance of seeing it there, I dont really expect anyone from dell mobility to browse the S5 xda subforum more then every now and then, if at all.
If anything, go complain on their pages that it's impossible to contact the offical dev team, dell pretty much has a brick wall seperating us from them. Even if they cant give any code, hints would go a good way wouldnt it?

Yes, but you MUST do a fac reset and manually restore data to use it on a device that previously had any version of dell stage installed.
(Assuming that the stage 2.0 launcher doesnt have any surprises, the stage 2.0 widgets havnt given me much trouble)
Stage 2.0 is signed with a different version of dell's certs but uses the same shared id name. This means that stage 1.5/1.6 will block eachother from installing.
I will prep a package, but ironically I wont be able to test it for a week as I am on spring break and my S5 was the only thing I didnt bring as I thought I didnt need it (and it was the only one I didnt bring).
Edit: file downloaded, first impressions:
I believe Stage 2.0 is portable to other devices, with the previously mentioned caviat that you cannot have had installed stage 1.5/1.6
Included version: 2.0-v1.0.11, version on market: 2.0-v1.0.13
the SPro's rom isnt made by qisda and possibly not pegatron
Edit2: could you confirm the version numbers in settings -> about phone, since it's not made by qisda I cant easily determine it from the build.prop.
Just give me everything to be sure or a picture or a screenshot.

In process of backporting Stage 2.0, unfortunately it's a lot more complex then merely working with Stage 1.5/1.6/1.7.
I believe the biggest issue is that it requires modifying the BOOTCLASSPATH, which can only normally be modified by editing the kernel itself (more specifically, init.rc in the ramdisk). This basically means it'll only boot on the S5 with a modified kernel
If I do manage to get it working, perhaps we can convince the various rom makers/kernel devs to add the line in and the associated files.
Just to be sure, I need the contents of <root>\init.rc, specifically the line: (from a working Streak Pro of course)
Code:
export BOOTCLASSPATH /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar:/system/framework/kafdex.jar:/system/framework/com.dell.server.divide.jar
and know if it matches that EXACTLY or not, the order is very important

How to root strea pro d43
hi there
I tried to SuperOnelclick,Gingerbreak,visinaly,z4root and DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit.
but I cant get root...
Streak pro d43 from baidu got rooted with SuperOneClick.
Please help me how to root streak pro d43 from japanese carrier

I didnt really expect those to work, at this point (for the most part) the only way to root anything above 2.3.4 or so is to install a custom recovery and flash superuser.zip or something similar.
Until someone finds another exploit that's the only way to root.
Someone needs to make a custom recovery to root though that method. I'd offer to make one but I would need to own/have access to a SPro to do that.

Another update on backporting Stage 2.0:
Stage 2.0 is heavily integrated into the stock SPro rom, current changes:
added com.dell.android.app.deviceadmin.jar and com.dell.server.divide.jar to BOOTCLASSPATH
added assorted dependency apks (of course)
modified framework.jar [!!]
If/when I finally get it booting, it's definitely going to require roms to explicitly add support for Stage 2.0.
The reason: the Stage 2.0 launcher apparently directly adds Dell divide support into it. Unlike the S10 (which also has it) it's heavily integrated instead of being just an extra entry in settings.
I'd be able to work faster if I had a working Stage 2.0 install though, at this point I've added all the visible dependencies, it's still crashing out and I'm running out of clues

It seems that you are really working hard to port stage 2.0 on our streak.

Sailfish for Android devices release!

Hello guys,
I just got an awesome e-mail from Jolla. I think they don't mind posting it here for everyone interested to see, it even mentioned this forum. If anyone feels I'm sharing confidential stuff, please PM me
Here it is:
Dear early adopter of SailfishOS for Android devices.
We're kicking off today by publishing the first Early Adopter Release of SailfishOS (1.0.4.20) for Nexus 4 (mako) to early adopters. Please make sure to read this whole e-mail through.
Later we'll be publishing images for Samsung Galaxy S III LTE (i9305) and we'll be delivering updated images as we go along for each device as hardware support improves. This is just the beginning.
We are also working on the SailfishOS hardware adaptation development kit, which describes how to port SailfishOS to existing CyanogenMod 10.1 devices. Later versions of CM will be supported eventually. We'll publish the HADK in the next few weeks if everything goes well.
This installation image is for early adopters only, meaning we know that some things are not functional or perhaps even broken -- please see release notes below. We think it's worth sharing already now to get all of you properly included in the early stages of the project.
We want to build a community around SailfishOS for Android devices that is based on mutual trust and respect for what we are all doing. Hence -- we ask that whenever you do screenshots, videos, forum or blog posts (and we're happy if you do!) or the like, you emphasise that this is an under-development snapshot and not a final product release.
It is important for Jolla that the correct expectations are set for those who might be users of the final product -- and that they understand what they see is not a released product.
WARNING: Modifying or replacing your device’s software may void your device’s warranty, lead to data loss, hearing loss, hair loss, financial loss, privacy loss, security breaches, or other damage, and therefore must be done entirely at your own risk. No one affiliated with this project is responsible for your actions but yourself. Good luck.
NOTE: You will lose your on-device data, so make a proper backup.

Release notes and Known issues for Early Adopter Release 1 for mako/Nexus 4:
* We have a subtle watermark underneath the UI at all times stating "SailfishOS development software" "This is not production quality". Developer mode is activated at all times.
* Modem and related functionality works, 3G data, SMS but no call audio (comes in next release). There has been no throughout testing of telephony related functionality (roaming, airplane mode, data counters, etc) and any use of this functionality is at your own risk.
* Sensors, Device clock/alarms, Reset device, Bluetooth, USB control + MTP, Bluetooth, WLAN hotspot, Camera (photography, video recording), and video playback is not supported in this release.
* Jolla account / Store is removed from the image due to problems with registering with Jolla infrastructure.
* The image SW is not currently upgradeable, nor is any typically licensed multimedia codecs (MP3, etc), HERE maps, Android application compatibility layer, or word prediction for virtual keyboard preinstalled.
* After returning from suspend, UI may be slow for a moment. It is not possible to double-tap to wake up the device. Power button may fail to wake device at times, check if you are covering the proximity sensor. Powering off device puts it into a state of deep slumber; possible to get out of by holding power button and volume down key with a bit of persistence.
* Fingerterm applications may fail to launch during first attempts.
* FPS drop while scrolling in homescreen due to non-batching when rendering of application icon grid
* Icons/graphics appear unproportionally small in browser toolbar, time select widget, and Settings favourite icons
* Multiboot / multirom is not supported currently

no you should't, because the images also contain radios and those are needed that sailfish works properly on the nexus 4

Check the settings , its quite tricky

And where there?
If I enable mobile data in the settings I just geht an error popin on the top. "problems with data connection" vor something similar.

I had no problem with 4.2 radio with T-Mobile in the US. No settings changed.

Thats a great news, lets hope thay make it available for the S4 soon.

I finally had some time to look into the problem.
Sailfish had the wrong APN
Edit:
After two hours playing with Sailfish, I can say that the Sailfish feels nice and it seems quite stable.
No comparison to the very buggy Ubuntu.
Once camera and bluetooth works, and we get a chance to at least buy AlienDalvik on their app store, this could become my main OS.

are there mako drivers or config files in the sailfish zip ?
can this sailfish zip be installed on nexus 7 grouper?
or does it has to be build specific for grouper?

I think you can try it safely, it shouldn't brick anything as it's loaded from the kernel. but I think it will not work. They mention some help in porting soon and I'm waiting for that.

Just flashed cm10.1.3 and SailfishOS from another custom rom 4.4.2...Everythink should work, works. No problem with SMS, GSM data and OS is very smoothly... Perhaps WLAN?
EDIT: After some tests, radio from factory image 4.2.2 is necessary for WLAN and sound

are the updates for this rom going to be nightly or weekly??
and can anyone please pm me when theres an update??
thanks

Are there any update about other nexus device like galaxy nexus? That phone isn't too old for an official support (I think), and there are lots of people like me who want to try that OS on that device

Same, I would try and force the nexus 4 version to work on the n5, as that is basically how the HADK is going to work, but haven't got time for it yet, I also intend to make an app that copies over SMS and WhatsApp messages between sailfish and android roms, but 1. Don't know if its possible, and 2. No time, due to exam revision.

[09-06]SailfishOS & Multirom. How to set up guide

Hi sailors out there
When I'm going to read through the available sailfish threads the question about how to set up multirom & sailfish have been asked many times. So I thought I'm writing this little guide. I describe the procedure along the nexus 4 mako. But it have to be very similar on other devices like nexus 5 for example. The important parts that differs from mako are the kernel and modem image you've to use. I will describe the easiest way in my opinion. Experienced users have more capabilities to reach the goal. I will not describe how to install twrp recovery and unlock bootloader. Both are prequesites. Please use xda search or google to get this. But this little guide want's to be simple as possible. So let's begin .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beginning:
First we have to detect you're actual setup and where you want to go. Because nexus 4 is up to date I think the most common goal is to run android 4.4 as primary and sailfish os as secondary. Atm I have only paranoidandroid 4.4 on my device and will show you how to get everything working.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements / Download following parts:
kernel aosp: http://d-h.st/A99
kernel cm: http://d-h.st/CCn
aosp = android open source rom. Ask in you're rom thread what version you're on with the rom
cm = cyanogen mod rom. Ask in you're rom thread what version you're on with the rom
Modem for nexus4 in version 0.84: http://d-h.st/cIJ
or
through an app in play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bpear.makomodem&hl=de
sailfishOS ea4: http://releases.sailfishos.org/sfa-ea/sailfishos-mako-release-1.0.8.19-EA4.zip
cm 10.1.3: http://get.cm/get/aWH
Multirom manager in play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tassadar.multirommgr&hl=de
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before we're going on check up the following
1. All zip's you've downloaded have to be transferred on the device
2. Apps from play store are installed
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation process
Reboot in twrp recovery
Flash the new kernel
Flash the modem 0.84 in twrp. Or via the modem flasher from playstore. It's you're decision.
Boot back into android
Proof the functionality in android withe the new modem and kernel. Wlan working? Bluetooth? NFC?
Open mutlirom manager. Follow the installation steps.
After some time you'll be back in android. You have now the right modem, kernel and and a twrp multirom version on you're device
After this. Please reboot back into twrp recovery
There select the advanced button.
Then the multirom button
Select add rom and mark up the entry sailfish os
Press next.
Now you can choose two zip files to flash
zip1: Select the cm10.1.3 zip file
zip2: Select the sailfish EA4 zip file
Installation process is beginning.
After this select reboot
You automatically went into multirom where you can cancel the automatic boot process for the primary rom. Then you can select which rom you want to start.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the most important thing is to read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/jolla-sailfish/general/qa-sailfish-n4-thread-devices-t2727330 for further question before you ask. I have described there many things to start with sailfish. If you find this useful think about to press the thanks button.

I'm a bit confused why do you insist on updating the modem? I checked my modem version and it is newer so I imagine there is no need to update. Also why use such an old version ov CM?
Just asking because I did all according to your instructions except I used newer CM build and didn't update my modem firmware as it was already newer. But for some reason Sailfish wont boot. It just hangs showing Google at start.

Also I stated in first post why I only described the way I've did

Ahh ok nevermind got it working once I used the older CM image. Wifi seems not to be working but I guess that is because I didn't downgrade my modem firmware. I guess I'll wait for a more stable builde or better yet buy a Jolla phone. Just like having the nexus 4 as I can test bunch of operating systems on it.

yes. that's a great benefit of this device Do you like sailfish?
With modem version 0.84 you have all parts working in sailfish and android

Ok thanks for the hint. I used to be one of the early adopters of Jolla, but couldn't use it as my daily phone so I sold it, but now that the OS has matured I think I maybe swithing back. Even though I still think Nokia N9 had far better UI experience. If only some would port N9 UI to Sailfish

I feel the same, don't know why, but i just loved the N9 and the way the OS worked. I am not saying that sailfish is bad or something, but there Are somethings missing ...

They've practically done nothing since pre-release to improve and refine the UI, and so many incredibly basic features are missing (voicemail notifications, global copy and paste etc). The pulley menus are ropey and the active covers feature hasn't really been made use of much. They seem to be mainly concentrating on the Jolla Launcher for Android, which will definitely make them higher profile ... but if all their software engineers and UX guys are working on that instead of Sailfish itself, then it seems like cutting off their nose to spite their face.
I'm not a fan of Android and I can't see myself ever using WP or iOS, but the lack of progress and their production priorities are a bit dispiriting. I'm hoping that they're holding a lot of big and waited for improvements for update 1.1 (October).
Anyway, I'll keep it as my main phone for a bit longer, despite the fact that I have a Z3C coming early next week. Hope to see a decent Sailfish port for it soon.

Don't think I'll regret getting the Z3C, from a hardware perspective ... held one the other day, as a friend had been gifted one by Sony. It's absolutely superb. Granted, I despise Android .. but for when the Jolla ****s itself / runs out of battery / when GPS or a camera is needed / roaming / skype /outdoor use, I can suffer it until there's a Sailfish port.
Hopefully as work is already under way for the One Plus One, the identical SoC used in the Z3 & Z3C won't be too much additional work.
For all the moaning and groaning about Mediatek, I'm guessing the simplest and best port of Sailfish will probably be for the Meizu MX4, as there'll be an Ubuntu ROM for it, and libhybris is used by Ubuntu Phone ...
Also, hopefully future iterations of the HADK will smooth out some of the problems porters are facing.

it's the same for me...
The SoC in your z3c and 1+1 is actually the same as in z1c, I guess – 8974 vs 8974ac – only higher clocked.
You should not suppose that mediatek SoCs will be easier in general just because of is one working device. Jolla runs a Snapdragon and it works perfectly, most of the devices sailfish is currently ported to run snapdragons – with very different results.

I wasn't saying Mediatek in general will be easier (though it's possible), but any device with an official Ubuntu ROM certainly will (should) be - Meizu MX4 (Mediatek) is the first of those.
P.S. The Z3C is fantastic ... though unfortunately in black as opposed to the red I ordered (it's being swapped tomorrow).

Thank you very much for these instructions. i have one question though. In order to download CM 10.1.3, it says to click that link which takes you to download CM installer app. Ive used that app before and as far as I kmow, it doesnt let you choose which version of CM you want to install, instead it just sets you up to install the newest CM 11. I downloaded 10.1.3 from their site. Either way, no big deal.
Also, which kernel do I download to install? Aosp or CM?
Thank you

Still up to date
Hi,
are these steps still up to date or should we follow a different set up guide to install the latest sailfish OS on the Nexus 4? Because most, if not all, the links on the first page end up 404...

Bluetooth sync from Jolla to Nexus 4
Flashed my Nexus 4 with the factory 4.2.2 from google with radio .48 and then flashed cm-10.1-20131003-SNAPSHOT-TREATFORCOOPER-mako-signed.zip because that seemed to be the 10.1.3 mentioned in the guides to end up flashing the latest sfos from this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-sailfish-os-community-port-t2969823.
I didn't try calling, it has 3G network working and wifi is working but I can't seem to get the contacts from my Jolla phone using the Bluetooth sync from the settings.
Anybody has some advice on this?

Just had a good look at the wiki of devices on the mer website and found out the bluetooth is not yet working on the Nexus 4...

Works perfectly on my oneplus one
